Metroid Laboratory Mission by Arthsoldier [MZM Exploration], rated by yohann on Jun 28, 2022 (Star Star Star Star Star )

Version 1.0 (OLD) :

The "Abandoned Laboratory" premise is cool on paper, however it's very poorly executed, level design is bland and often unfair (lots of hidden blocks, possible softlocks, very punishing and overwhelming rooms).
The hack also lacks a lot of polish (non connected tiles, opaque liquid, static BG3, weird transitions, very confusing and weird minimap...)
The dark filter is cool, a little bit too dark for me but the idea is here, custom music is also pretty nice and i like the font and fast item grabbing patches.
Don't recommend, but i hope the future versions are better.

Version 1.0 (New) :

Much better than the previous version, still pretty bad though.
Level design is much better than last time, but it's fairly ugly, there's a lot of tiling errors and doors sometimes use the wrong graphics, and are way too long.
Enemy placement is also bad, sometimes they're right after a door so you're forced to take damage, the white palette is also weird and hurts the eyes.
Deorem brokes the room, and some doors are broken, still don't recommend.

Really cool hack, custom ASM is awesome, same for custom music (it does hurt the ears a little bit sometimes though).
Graphics are pretty good as well, level design is pretty neat too.
The biggest problem of the hack is balancing, enemies drop rates are way too low and the main boss is way too long once you use all your supers, charged beam just doesn't do enough damage.
Pretty fun hack overall, impressive for such a short amount of time, do recommend.

This is good, great level design, cool world design, cool musics, cool graphics.
I still feel like it's missing something but i can't really pinpoint what that is.
